@9benadryls @Platonotov Do you think ethnicity was incidental to slavery?

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@9benadryls @Platonotov So you think the ethnic position and impoverishment of Black Americans is purely incidental?

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@bordigaparty I would not say “today” because they are currently locked in a war with America for control of the region. But if America loses and withdraws then yes, quite possibly.

@Ngorongoro64516 @Platonotov I’m not going to pretend that the armed enforcers of capitalism are proletariat just because they’re white

@theomnicommie Does being in the IDF (a mostly reservist force) and supporting what it does, affect one’s class status?

It absolutely does

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@Platonotov You’re either woefully under read, or deliberately obtuse in ignoring the relationship between capitalist armies/armed settlers, and the means of production, especially when capitalist is in its highest stage, imperialism.

@Anarchist_Ryte Opinions? Their military functions mainly by reserves

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@harbingerofwoke America didn’t get into a world war over Ukraine, Russia and China absolutely would not get into one over Cuba. Besides invading Cuba would be a disaster for us, they have been prepping for this, and China and Russia would be happy to watch the train wreck.

@KarlMarxFan17 Zionism is predicated on ethnic cleansing. The state of Israel could not exist without it and could not continue to exist without denying Palestinians the right of return or ability to have land Israelis want.

There were many anti-genocide Nazis but should we nitpick that?

@midifire @R0dchenko Constantly preparing for an invasion because of a very real and credible threat of it on your doorstep from the global superpower is not some sort of quirky policy choice, it is the natural and inevitable condition of any society faced by such an external threat.

@ProleOtter Israel’s military is mostly reservist. Obviously those directly taking land, e.g West Bank settlers, are by definition *not* proletariat, but of the true Israeli proletariat (who own no capital), much of them consider suppressing the non-Israeli proletariat as their primary duty

@kamchatkatimber @R0dchenko I have no idea why you think that.

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@kamchatkatimber @R0dchenko China certainly didn’t distribute it initially to individuals, unless you’re talking some particular exceptions. And why exactly would they?

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@kamchatkatimber @R0dchenko Collectivism was always the overwhelmingly predominant mode of redistribution for obvious reasons: if a humanity collectively worked land for generations, who decides which individual gets which section of it?

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@kamchatkatimber @R0dchenko The rest of the ruling class of Tibet had their land confiscated

[Moderate Communist @ModerateCommie]

@kamchatkatimber @R0dchenko Yes, they had it all taken. That’s how “redistribution” works. It means to take land from one class and distribute it to another.
